Rubber and plastic hardness tester
●This is a durometer (rubber and plastic hardness tester) that quantifies and expresses the hardness level of soft materials such as rubber, indicating whether they are hard or soft.
●Compliant with JIS K 6253
●This durometer is compliant with JIS K 6253 (new JIS). It consists of three types: Type A for medium hardness, Type D for high hardness, and Type E for low hardness. The central Type A tends to show values that are 1 to 2 points higher compared to the old JIS A-type hardness tester. Type D is suitable for hard rubber with a measurement value of 90 or higher using Type A, while Type E is suitable for soft rubber with a measurement value of 20 or lower using Type A. Additionally, Type A's MD15S-A719NT is specified in JIS A 1108 "Method for Compression Testing of Concrete" for the unbonded capping test. Furthermore, Type E is referred to as Type AO durometer in ISO 7619.
